wait a second I just picked up on this - Jesus hadn\u2019t met the disciples yet, so if the story of him as a kid talking back to the temple priests is in the Gospels, does that mean he made a point of telling that story at some point?

\n

or the priests were like woah get a load of that asshole kid, he has fans now

\n
\n

(the usual explanation for this stuff is luke 2:19, if anyone\u2019s curious)

\n
\n\n

I am curious. What\u2019s that taken to mean?

\n
\n

Mary told the Evangelists aaaaalllll about what a cute kid Jesus was, did I ever tell you about what he said in the temple??? oooh\u2026

Huh so the early bits of the gospels are the Life of Jesus as told by Matthew/Mark/Luke/John as told to them by Mary? Huh, that\u2019s an interesting dynamic and something I\u2019d never thought of - coming from a Catholic background there was all sorts of Marian imagery but not much direct Bible-reading and that authorship angle never came up.
